so what size container will be good for the first 4 weeks of veg inside
Diatomaceous Earth is a great choice. RAZOR sharp to insects. Diluted with water to spray, or sprinkle lightly.

If you want to go big, minimum 10 gallon. preferred wild be 20 gallon plus.
Just for first 4 weeks
I got a big hole to fill good dirt
You can start in plastic cups with a few holes drilled in bottom. I would use seed starter mix soil if possible for best germination rates. You can repot in the something bigger if they grow fast before you put them in the earth.

Autos white widdow 2 of them
I wouldn’t use plastic cups for autos unless they were 5 gallons, go 5 gallon if possible, maybe 1 or 2 gallons would work?
What sort of lights are you putting them under indoor?

What happens if you put a plant in the ground too late in the season… will it bloom but only stunted?

It depends on how long she has grown vegetatively, she may flower beautifully if she’s the right size and her roots can expand. I would factor in length of growing season/ sunlight available/ day length, and temperatures.
